Is it really horrible to ask if I could get the pattern off you? The only thing I ever cross stitched was a teensie cat, so I daresay this would take me forever, but it's amazing.

I am a dummy and didn't save the pattern, but as soon as I get home from work I'll scan it and see if I can't duplicate it (its a bit folded/faded) so you can work with it. So I'll probably have it up around 4pm Eastern.

Oh man, this is so cool I'm adding it to my profile. Are you really a beginner? I am AMAZED.

Haha, yeah, I definitely am a beginner. I took some pictures of the back of it, but didn't upload those. They prove how much of a beginner I am. After I did this and saw how messy the back was I started to work better towards having a nice, clean back. So far I've done about 9 cross stitches, but this one took the longest.

When I used to cross stitch it took me AGES to finish a project (like months) and that was on printed stuff. I only ever started one counted cross and never finished it. This is absolutely wonderful. You should be proud of it =]

I've gone ahead and made a whole new pattern because there was no way to really recover the old pattern.

Below is what the new pattern will most likely looked like when stitched up. The rest of the pictures are in a flickr set. Also in that set is a scanned copy of the pattern and color chart that I used. It was folded a lot (and my printer is wonky, so that is why the color chart is weird looking), so its very worn, but it is there if you want to see it.
